Fucking Amethyst just erased a 300 word reply I was composing.
That only really happens in a hyperinflationary situation where the USD is rapidly collapsing. By that time people will be valuing fiat in bits and not the other way around.
The term bitcoin would ideally be applied to a unit with a sane value. As it stands a lot of people think of bitcoin as expensive when that is a completely arbitrary valuation. Right now 1 sat is too small to be the standard unit, and 1 bitcoin is too big.
I think Adam Back has the right idea and in the near future we'll be pricing bitcoin by the bit (0.00000100 btc) and this will eventually become the unit that laypeople mean when they say bitcoin. Sometime around the point that 1 sat == $0.01.
It's a logical transition for people to think of sats as cents and bits as dollars.
This quote is so powerful.
What mice we have become.
It makes no sense to me that the Amazon app is so slow.
Don't these guys run one of the largest cloud computing platforms in the world?

umm they do

I have come to dread the web. The cookie notices. The pop ups. The randomly refreshng pages. The bullshit SEO fluff. The consistently garish layouts and themes.
For a brief period I found Twitter to be a superior source of information but for a few years now it has been a real chore to slog through the web of shit.
Ad blockers help a lot and they work well. I have multiple approaches to blocking ads and they are all excellent, hands-free, zero maintenance solutions.
One thing I really wish worked better is reader mode. This is a true godsend when it works, but it's too manual a process. I want to see everything in reader mode all the time without a hint of the underlying crap.
I wouldn't say the song is partisan except for that audience who think the North/South divide is still more relevant than the more contemporary dynamics of urban/rural or coastal/inland. Using "North of Richmond" as a general indication of where the problem lies is not a subtle reference in America. It's an inspiring song but to no one more so than the "South Will Rise Again" crowd.
Assuming they still exist.

Hottest night I can remember
If your main use case is a hypervisor then you might consider Intel's Clear Linux. I kind of love it, although they have been neglecting the desktop environment in recent years and it is a real PITA if you have any graphics hw other than Intel. It is shockingly fast and the rolling release updates are great.
F is more granular in the thermostat comfort zone so integers will suffice but with C I need a decimal point. No one cares that water boils at 100 C, (which is only true at sea level anyways).
I say this despite being Canadian and generally preferring metric.
That time frame is pretty short but Swan supports daily DCA. Bull Bitcoin does the same in Canada. https://help.swanbitcoin.com/hc/en-us/articles/360058846253-Does-Swan-support-hourly-DCA-stacking-
Since moving to a rural area I have a lot of trouble finding food I used to buy in the city so I get a lot on Amazon now. It's pretty good for anything dehydrated and I suspect they have more than a few types of celery powder.
The IMDB reviews for The Idol were so bad (4.7 and falling) that I just had to watch it.
There was some real potential here and many good moments. I was often entranced with the atmosphere of the production.
Depp is a hard sell as a Britney type. Her aristocratic supermodel type look is just not right for the role. She can act but doesn't seem like an actual pop star.
Many characters suddenly change in episode 4 which felt forced and unreal.
There is one girl, Chloe, who is genuinely talented but Izzac (sp?) is no Prince (lol) and the whole band of gypsy artist kids is pretty lame.
The ending is just awful. There is this weak-ass twist that just absolutely fails.
I'd say it deserves a 6, maybe 6.4.

Green-QT is specifically the desktop version of Green. https://github.com/Blockstream/green_qt
QT is a UI library for creating cross-platform desktop applications.
No I mean I peg-in using SS and then send (most of) the L-BTC to GreenQT for storage. I'm not as comfortable holding funds in the SS wallet.
